The 5725 family of devices (asic rev 5762), corrupts TSO packets where
the buffer is within MSS bytes of a 4G boundary (4G, 8G etc.). Detect
this condition and trigger the workaround path.

I am curious : Does this condition even triggers ?

Yes, it's a rare problem to occur and was reported in our lab. After we 
implemented this fix, the problem didn't happen again.

I just cant figure out which part of the kernel could allocate a
fragment spanning a 4G region.

For the bug to occur, the fragment does not have to span a 4G boundary. If it is 
within MSS bytes (9.6k) of a 4G boundary, it triggers the failure.

Ah, that indeed can happen.

Thanks

I think that if we do this and detect a false positive, it may be very
far from the 4G boundary.  The new skb that we allocate to workaround
the condition may be even closer to 4G and may hit the real bug
condition.

The mss and len values are accessed many times in this immediate code
path just before setting the TX BD, gcc should be able to optimize this
quite nicely.

It can't be very far away, approx 1 in 65k checks would fail.
You could do the finer test afterwards.

If the 'fix' is to relocate the skb you are doomed to lose regardless
of the check - unless you are willing to reallocate a lot of times,
and without freeing the old skb.
I'd assumed the 'fix' was to disable the relevant offload.

I was looking at the number of branches in the hot path, not whether
the values were already in registers.

If we do a 2nd level test, it will be ok.  But I'm not sure if it is
worth the complexity.

We relocate once and then drop the packet if we encounter additional
errors, including OOM, DMA mapping error, 4G boundary, etc.  The new
linear skb should not hit the 4G boundary again.  The room between the
end of this current buffer and 4G isn't big enough for the new linear
skb.

Isn't the number of branches the same whether we use actual values in
registers or fixed values?

This remind me an issue on bnx2x :

bnx2x FW has a limitation on GSO packets :
    
A single mss can not span more than 10 fragments.

After "net: use a per task frag allocator" patch, its possible
for an application interleaving small write() on several sockets
to build pathological skbs using 16 fragments (aka MAX_SKB_FRAGS)
but small amount of payload.
    
Fast path should build skbs with 2 or 3 fragments, as fragments
can be order-3 pages.
    
bnx2x driver performs an expensive skb_linearize() call and
this can fail if memory is fragmented : skb->len can be around 64K,
and including the skb_shared_info overhead, we might need order-5
pages.

The first skb might be just below the 4G boundary and the
second just below the 8G one.

We will discard the packet if that happens.  I think the probabilty is
very small.

Data corruption means the content of the packet was mangled on the wire,
or was it a more serious issue, like a tx queue hang ?

I think the DMA engine is getting the wrong data under this condition so
we end up with bad data but correct header checksums on the wire.
